Seun Kuti, the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, continues one of the most powerful legacies in modern music. As the leader of Egypt 80, the storied ensemble once fronted by his father, Seun has carried Afrobeat into a new era with unrelenting energy, searing horn lines, and lyrics that balance celebration with resistance.
Since stepping into the role in 1997, he has established himself as a commanding bandleader in his own right, releasing acclaimed projects including From Africa with Fury: Rise (produced with Brian Eno) and African Dreams (2022).
